A fire burns on the 11th floor of the Barrington Plaza apartments. L.A. fire officials said the building, in the 11700 block of Wilshire Boulevard, is not equipped with a sprinkler system because it was built 52 years ago and does not fall under state regulations adopted in 1974 that require buildings taller than 75 feet to include such fire-suppression systems.
